3)

Reviewed information related to waivers for the purpose of
making a recommendation to the Florida Building Commission on the appropriate
fee to charge for a waiver application as required by section 553.512(1),
F.S.,

Option 1: The
fee should recover an average administrative cost per application (e.g.,
$673.00). The cost would be based on an average number of accessibility code
waiver applications per year (i.e., five-year average). 4 = Acceptable, I
agree  0 votes, 3 = Acceptable I agree with minor reservations  0 votes, 2
= Not Acceptable, I dont agree unless major reservations addressed  0
votes, 1 = Not Acceptable  9 votes. Member comment too costly.

Option 2: A slidingaccessibility code waiver fee schedule should be established to
encourage compliance with accessibility requirements, that is based on a
disproportionate cost formula factoring the cost of construction relative to
area of building ($x/square foot). 4 = Acceptable, I agree  0 votes,
3 = Acceptable I agree with minor reservations  1 votes, 2 = Not Acceptable,
I dont agree unless major reservations addressed  7 votes, 1 = Not
Acceptable  1 votes. Member comment too complicated.

Linda Parnell made a motion and Barbara Page second the
motion with a unanimousvote that theAccessibility TAC recommends that
the Florida building Commission implement an Accessibility Code Waiver
application fee of $250.00 per application, with a delayed implementation
date of July 1, 2014 to allow time for implementation of needed BCIS
revisions.
